It's not like we're strangers!
Ye Liang stared in disbelief. The person before him was none other than the young man from his dream last night!
Izanagi no Mikoto!
What the hell!
"How did you end up here?" Ye Liang asked.
"If you can exist here, then so can I."
Izanagi no Mikoto smiled. He stretched out his palm, and a golden energy flickered right on his palm.
"This is the energy from the Exit Village Token! That token was made by you!" Ye Liang immediately understood why Izanagi no Mikoto recognized him.
Back then, the Exit Village Token he used for exploration had contained exactly the same energy.
"Since you've figured it out, do me a favor, human!"
Ye Liang's pupils widened again.
"He even knows I'm human. What exactly is he?" He instantly recalled what he had seen in his dream.
This guy not only ended up killing his own wife but also came after him violently—he's definitely not to be trusted! And right now, Ye Liang was certainly no match for him!
He couldn't even deal with the Exit Village Token this guy had made, let alone face the man himself!
"What do you want me to do?"
Ye Liang sat cross-legged in front of Izanagi no Mikoto.
"Very simple. Just bring me a wooden comb from the Yomi deity."
"That's all?"
"That's all!"
"Like hell it is!"
Ye Liang immediately retorted.
"The Yomi deity is a goddess! I couldn't even take on her subordinate, Mikamitsu Shirabe. You want me to steal a wooden comb from the Yomi Palace? Are you out of your mind!"
"Calm down, my friend. I never said you have to do it right away," Izanagi no Mikoto cheerfully interrupted Ye Liang's outburst, sitting down in front of him as well.
"I see a red glow between your eyebrows, indicating pregnancy. It seems you'll be personally invited by the Yomi deity soon. And I'm not asking you to do this for free. If you're willing to help me, I can assist you in returning to the human world. What do you think?"
Return to the human world!
Ye Liang's heart leapt.
He hesitated briefly.
Though the man's motives were murky, Ye Liang decided to agree—for now. If things really got dangerous later, he could always back out.
After all, it's just a wooden comb. How hard could it really be?
Not impossible.
"Fine! I agree. But you must first tell me how to leave the Yomi World. If you're trying to trick me, I'm afraid I won't be able to comply."
Izanagi no Mikoto burst into laughter. "Little buddy, you really are a straightforward guy. I'll teach you how to leave the Yomi World right now!"
He raised both hands, swiped through the air—and a streak of blue light flashed into his palm before vanishing instantly.
Ye Liang's expression immediately turned into shock!
"This is chakra! Human world chakra!"
"That's right! This is chakra.
Although there's no chakra in the Yomi World, I, Izanagi no Mikoto, possess it.
Once you retrieve the wooden comb for me, I can transfer some of my chakra to you. With that, you can use Space-Time Ninjutsu to escape."
"You actually know I know Space-Time Ninjutsu?"
Ye Liang suddenly felt puzzled, but Izanagi no Mikoto's voice indeed grew more distant: "Not only do I know you possess Space-Time Ninjutsu, I also know your name is Ye Liang, and you have the Sharingan!"
His voice faded away as his body dissolved into floating foam, leaving nothing but a child's body behind.
That's Ifu Kamato!
"This place... where am I?" the child slowly opened his eyes.
Ye Liang was startled.
He instinctively recoiled but quickly figured things out.
Izanagi no Mikoto hadn't actually come here. He had simply used some technique to attach himself to the child's body, enabling him to speak across distances.
"Who are you? How did you appear in my room!" The child suddenly exploded in rage, glaring fiercely at Ye Liang with murderous intent burning in his pupils.
You've got to be kidding me!
After assigning a task, couldn't you at least inform your subordinate about it!
Ye Liang immediately found Izanagi no Mikoto completely irresponsible!
"Er... Lord Ifu. My name is Ye Liang; I'm from the idyllic Peach Blossom Village, and I came here to deliver a meal for you."
"Where's the meal then?"
"Knowing you wouldn't eat our village's meal, I fed it to the cow instead."
"What about the cow?"
"The cow got full and ran off."
"You're messing with me, right?!"
Ifu Kamato instantly flew into a rage!
Even though he was just a child, his strength was anything but ordinary. With his palm, he slammed into the floorboards and yanked upward! Large chunks of flooring flew straight toward Ye Liang's face.
"My god! It's like Li Yuanba himself has been reborn! (legendary warrior known for unmatched strength)"
Ye Liang quickly shoved backward, kicking away the thick wooden board flying toward him, then dove straight out the window.
The space here was far too cramped, and he was still such a novice — definitely no match for this child.
Right now, his only option was to flee!
"Little thief, where do you think you're going!"
Ifu Kamato immediately gave chase. His body didn't even bother going through the obstructing window, instead charging straight toward the wall!
What's more, the moment he hit the ground, he became like a rolling dragon, tumbling along the ground straight toward Ye Liang!
"You can roll all you want — I'm not giving you candy or lollipops!"
With no choice, Ye Liang fled toward Her Ladyship Mikamitsu Shirabe's palace.
This kid was simply too aggressive. There was no way to explain anything to him, so he could only seek help from Mikamitsu Shirabe!
Ifu Kamato continued rolling. His speed was incredible, as if he were a motorcycle from a previous life, creating a buzzing sound as he moved across the ground.
The surrounding villagers watched in stunned disbelief.
"What's wrong with Lord Ifu Kamato? Why is he suddenly acting this crazy?"
"I don't know, but one thing's certain — our village road is definitely going to need major repairs..."
They couldn't see Ye Liang — he'd been fleeing across the rooftops the entire time!
The ground was definitely his territory — Ye Liang didn't dare run around down there recklessly.
"Honestly, if this guy were in the human world, his strength would probably be about equal to that old Tsuchikage geezer, using nothing but Earth Release techniques," complained Ye Liang as he arrived at Her Ladyship Mikamitsu Shirabe's palace.
"Her Ladyship Mikamitsu Shirabe, save me! Someone's chasing me to kill me!"
His voice arrived before his body did.
"Who dares cause a disturbance outside!"
As expected, Mikamitsu Shirabe's cold, clear voice immediately rang out from within the palace.
Ye Liang's face broke into delighted smiles.
He knew that once Mikamitsu Shirabe arrived, salvation was at hand.
As expected.
The moment the voice faded away, Mikamitsu Shirabe descended gracefully from the top of the palace, her movements almost dance-like.
Not a wisp of mist clung to her pristine white robes.
"Still the same flashy show-off!" Ye Liang muttered, ducking behind Mikamitsu Shirabe.
"What are you doing here, brat? Shouldn't you be at the banquet tonight? And why the hell are you screaming around like this?"
"Her Ladyship, it's not my fault! I was just trying to bring something to eat to Ifu Kamato, but before I could even deliver it, he suddenly attacked me like he'd gone mad!"
Ifu Kamato?!
Mikamitsu Shirabe glanced toward the distance in confusion — just in time to see [like a raging earth dragon] Ifu Kamato thrashing violently toward them.
You little runt! This is **my** palace — how dare you stir up trouble here! she barked furiously, shooting out a black thread-like energy from her palm.
